In the section "Shell Commands in Dired" of Emacs Info,
I found following lines:
* If the command string contains `?' surrounded by whitespace, the
current file name is substituted for `?'. You can use `?' this
way more than once in the command, and each occurrence is
replaced. For instance, here is how to uuencode each file, making
the output file name by appending `.uu' to the input file name:
uuencode ? ? > ?.uu
?.uu is surrounded by whitespace. So above command line generated an
unexpected file.
You mean that the third ? is _not_ surrounded by whitespace? I indeed
believe that the example is wrong. The third ? is not substituted
and the output goes to a file named ?.uu.
Sincerely,
Luc.
